Chapter 1.3, Problem 3LC

Solution

To state: The expression $2x-3y$ for the values $x=3\text{and}y=-2$ .

The resultant answer is $12$ .

Given information:

The given expression is $2x-3y$ .

Explanation:

A mathematical phrase that includes a combination of numbers and variables using the mathematical operations is known as an algebraic expression.

Now consider the given expression $2x-3y$ :

Substitute the values of variable x and y as $3\text{and}-2$ into the given expression,

  $2\left(3\right)-3\left(-2\right)$

Multiply,

  $6+6$

Now add and subtract from left to right,

  $12$

Therefore, $12$ is the resultant value of the expression $2x-3y$ .
